I am really into those types of ideals, things having a lot of meaning not just random things thrown together for the heck. It is why I love the Elven culture, and chose and Elven race as my character, my real taste coming from Lord of the Rings. How they were not just known for their abilities in combat, but also for the ages of culture that they brought with them, the deepness of every Elven man and woman, always a story behind them. An like the Elven race everything about him is steeped in deep tradition and honor just like his race.

Just an example of who my character will grow to be and is.
